Besides paddy fields, cyanobacteria are also found inside the vegetative part of Cycas. Cycas has coralloid roots which are irregular, negatively geotropic, dichotomously branched coral-like roots. They do not possess root hairs and root caps. Cyanobacteria like Nostoc and Anabaena are present in coralloid roots. They have a symbiotic relationship with these roots.
